@amberSuperMario@lemmy.ml avatar

Mask. N95 or better. My wife and I never stopped, and she never gets sick despite being immunocompromised. I work in a place where illness is common due to the environment and I’ve been sick once in the last year, meanwhile all of my coworkers come in sick like twice a month. Apparently they’d rather be sick and miserable all the time than wear a mildly uncomfortable thing on their face.

superglue ,

Do ypu have kids? No masks, also barely ever got sick. With kids I’m sick 5 or 6 times a year. Could be the same for your coworkers.

ifItWasUpToMe ,

While wearing a mask is never a bad idea, it is absolutely not necessary to not get sick. I am also immunocompromised and I have stopped wearing a mask. I wash my hands very often and never eat handheld food without washing first. Zero issues since getting covid back when I was wearing a mask religiously.

Getting sick occasionally is good for your immune system if you do not have a condition like your wife.

palordrolap , to nostupidquestions in What to do with glassware that is impossible to clean

Peroxide and then hypochlorite bleach. Not at the same time. There are products that contain them if you can't get them neat. In fact I recommend those.

Try the peroxide first. Dilute as necessary. Wipe or spray on. Leave it on for a while to loosen anything and everything it can. After a while fill with hot (60-80C) water, but beware of thermal shock. Leave to stand until warm, not hot. Try to clean the glasses as best you can. This may be all you need.

If not, try the bleach. Same steps, but make sure you're in a well ventilated area. I've found that while it stinks up the place, the mould just peels right off and into the hot bleach solution.

If the glasses smell of bleach afterwards, fill with warm water and leave for a day or two. Repeat as necessary. The bleach will dissipate eventually.

Looks like you’re not the only one:

They’ve falsely banned linux players before, once in March 2023 and again in August 2023.

I got hit in the Aug 2023 ban, and had my permaban overturned after 1-2 weeks. Expect to have your appeal rejected, we had to make enough of a fuss about it to get a community manager to reach out to the development team to get people unbanned:

answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues/…/50

I haven’t played in 9-10 months since the false positive put a really bad taste in my mouth, so I don’t have any datapoints to add for the current state of things, but I wish you the best of luck getting unbanned.

The idea that social structures have a “logical end” is pure hubris and have no basis on reality.

Treczoks , to nostupidquestions in Seriously, what the f*** is keeping Donald Trump in this presidential race?

What keeps him in the race? The lack of alternatives. No Republican candidate but Trump has even a chance to win. The GOP has no viable political program that could create a victory, all they have are the blind and dumb masses of Trump followers.

Someonelol , to linuxmemes in Remember back when Ubuntu put ads in the dash? I do (~2014)
@Someonelol@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

This may be kind of a dumb question, but would it affect Mint in any way if Canonical were to reintroduce ads? I know Mint’s a fork but I’m not sure how integrated that part of the OS is.

possiblylinux127 OP ,

Probably not as the Mint Team would either not be affected or they would have a cow.

When snap came out the Mint team got pissed and started maintaining the packages removed from Ubuntu

muhyb ,

It wouldn’t be worse than snap integration which Mint already doesn’t use. Also Mint have a backup plan called LMDE if things go sour.

@jordanlund@lemmy.world avatar

Why do they care what OS people use? Is it the anti-cheat software that needs Windows?

degen ,

In the past I don’t think it was possible to even play on Linux because of the anti-cheat, but I think Proton worked out a way to emulate it. Maybe something to do with that if it’s not technically “official” support? It’s extra stupid if the emulated anti-cheat is working fine.

MentalEdge , (edited )
@MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz avatar

No. EAC and Battleye developed ways to explicitly support proton, which has to be explicitly enabled by the developer for the game to run.

Proton didn’t change, the popular AC options did. They’ve had proton support pretty much since the steamdeck launched, and it works great as long as the developer of a game bothers checking the checkbox for it.

EAC works on linux just fine, and the fact that Apex runs, means Respawn deliberately allows it.

degen ,

Even worse!

Grangle1 , (edited )

Yes, it’s invasive kernel-level anti-cheat common in competitive multiplayer games now, because cheaters will mod their system that much for the sake of getting around the anti-cheat. Annoying from all sides.

That, and despite many devs being Linux fans, there does seem to be a (false) perception that Linux is the OS of choice for cheaters.

EDIT: Just remember, can’t play a game on Linux? It’s ALWAYS either the DRM or anti-cheat. Either way, corporate BS that hinders honest paying customers more than the people it’s trying to stop.

bsides ,

This comment is full of win.

NuXCOM_90Percent ,

Not sure on ApeLegs but they have increasingly been disabling linux “support” for the Battlefields because of their anti-cheat.

I don’t know how popular ApeLegs actually is. But for a lot of live games? Those are making MASSIVE bank and anything that can hurt the economy can kill the game. So a lot of studios actively just disable/block linux support because the added effort of making sure everything works in Proton is too big of a risk. Because nothing would increase Linux marketshare quite like free vdollars in Fortnite.

It really fucking sucks. But I find that many studios (like Digital Extremes) are really good about making it clear that even though they don’t officially support Linux, they are very much fans of Proton (and Warframe has had a lot of bugfixes specifically FOR Proton support). Whereas EA has spent the past few months systematically disabling Linux “support” for every game they develop.

13th 7th most played game on Steam in the past 24 hours, and 13th at the moment steamdb.info/charts/

Zeke ,

They don't. I've been playing Apex on Linux for years now. Apex is doing ban waves for cheaters. OP likely did something that looked like or was cheating.

TrousersMcPants ,

What he did was play on linux. You can have kernel level support for anti cheat on Linux so they look at that and see it as “suspicious” then ban.
